Why we're hiring:

WPP is accelerating the adoption of AI across the enterprise, investing in a portfolio of strategic initiatives designed to transform how work gets done across our global business.

Within Enterprise Technology, we're enabling this transformation by building the platforms, capabilities and operating models that will power the next generation of work. From Microsoft Copilot and intelligent automation to emerging AI technologies and agentic workflows, we're embedding AI into the fabric of how WPP operates globally.

We're looking for a Programme Manager (Value & Delivery) to help us understand, measure and evidence the impact of AI across the organisation.

This role sits at the centre of WPP's Enterprise AI adoption and measurement capability. You'll own the data, reporting and analytics that enable senior leaders to understand how AI is being adopted, where value is being created and what actions are needed to accelerate impact.

We're looking for someone who combines strong analytical and data modelling expertise with a delivery mindset. You'll be responsible for building trusted executive reporting, integrating data from multiple sources and ensuring adoption, usage and value metrics stand up to scrutiny. If you enjoy turning complex datasets into actionable insight and want to play a key role in one of WPP's most important transformation programmes, we'd love to hear from you.
